Gas trip cost

Gas Trip Cost DefinitionUse our free Gas Trip Calculator to conveniently determine how much gas you’re going to use for your next trip. With the cost of gas, it’s important that you know exactly how much you’re going to spend on your next vacation or business trip. This can help you to create the perfect budget and give you a real idea of just how much you’re going to spend on gas versus the other necessities for your excursion.

Preparing your BudgetEvery vehicle on the road is different. What’s more, the kind of mileage that you get often differs than what the manufacturer lists on the sticker, so using that information is useless. You know your vehicle best, so you can best determine just what kind of mileage that you’re getting. Inputting that information into the calculator allows you to easily and quickly get your trip information.

The Gas Trip Cost Calculator requires you to enter in the following information in order to provide you with an accurate gas cost.

How many MPG your vehicle getsHow much gas costs per gallonThe miles that you will be travelingBecause every vehicle gets different miles per gallon in the city versus highway traveling, you may want to create two different scenarios. You’ll want to determine how many miles you will be traveling in the city and how many you’ll be traveling on highways.

For example, if you have a 2002 Dodge Caravan, then you’ll get 22 MPG on the highway and 12 MPG in the city. When you fill out the calculator, you’ll input 22 MPG and then estimate how many highway miles you will be traveling. Make a note of that number and then do the same for 12 MPG and an estimate of how many city miles that you will be traveling. This is the best way to get the closest estimate of your total trip costs.

Once you have inputted your information, the trip cost will appear in a light green box below the calculator. You can use the calculator as many times as needed to get the right data for your trip.
